Hk753 $500 Million in Liquidated Damages, Yumo Disappeared?
May 7th, just after eleven o'clock in the morning.
Dream Entertainment's temporary headquarters, on the thirty-eighth floor of Emerald Building, the negotiation between untm and Dream Entertainment has entered the final stage. Based on the attempt to acquire m company, Shi Lei and Mu Shuang agreed to the cooperation plan proposed by untel company as a cover.
Before signing the agreement, Untel's senior vice president, Craig. However, Beret made Xia Guote's unfeeling request, which caused the smooth negotiation to fall into the shadow of a deadlock.
"Ms. Mu, Mr. Shi, we, Untel, hope that the cooperation agreement signed by the two parties must be properly confidential. Moreover, when holding a press conference, the cooperation information disclosed to the news media must be marked as The two sides will be divided into 50% each. After all, our wntel company has many partners all over the world. I hope you can understand our difficulties in terms of dreaming of entertainment companies." Craig said slowly, carefully Observing the facial expressions of Shi Lei and Mu Shuang.
Mu Shuang turned to look at Shi Lei and asked, "Mr. Shi, how do you think the request of untm company should be handled?"
"I understand Mr. Craig's concerns. The business cooperation agreement should have been kept secret. As for publicity, as long as wntel has such needs, we can cooperate with Dream Entertainment." Shi Lei responded with a smile.
Craig's hanging heart finally let go!
More than ten minutes later, the legal personnel of Dream Entertainment and wntm jointly drafted a bilingual cooperation agreement in which Xia Guoyu and English coexist.
The agreement clearly states that once the cooperation agreement expressed in English and Xia Guoyu is inconsistent, the cooperation agreement will be void. This is to prevent language translation pitfalls, where one word in English has many different meanings. [
The legal personnel of the ntl company, as well as five think tank members, carefully checked the cooperation agreement, including the cooperation agreement described by Xia Guoyu. In the negotiation team of wntel, there are many people who are proficient in Xia Guoyu.
After the two parties have determined the cooperation agreement, there is only one last step left to complete the cooperation agreement. This last step is the punishment for violating the agreement!
The reason why business cooperation needs to sign a cooperation agreement is to prevent a party from unilaterally violating the cooperation agreement, and can obtain the compensation stipulated in the agreement through legal means.
Craig. Barrett and the members of the think tank within the company have already negotiated the terms of compensation for breaching the agreement.
"Mr. Shi, Ms. Mu. Regarding the compensation clauses for breaching the agreement, this is our Untel company's request." Craig took out two T-prints from the briefcase and put them on the conference table and gave them to Mu Shuang. and Shi Lei.
After Shi Lei got it, he checked it out. The compensation clauses formulated by Untel are quite strict. However, the vast majority of clauses are painless compensation. Only the last one, Dream Entertainment can't get around.
The last compensation agreement specifically states that either party violates the cooperation agreement and needs to compensate the other party for hundreds of millions of dollars!
A full ten billion dollars!
This is absolutely sky-high!
Regardless of whether it is Dream Entertainment or ntel, they will pay such liquidated damages in a short period of time. Even if wntm's total assets are as high as hundreds of billions of dollars, total assets are not equal to liquidity. Most of those values are the total asset value converted from stocks, production bases, and related technology patents.
Mu Shuang also found the last compensation agreement, she sneered in her heart, and then put the 4 printing paper on the table, "Mr. Craig, I don't think this liquidated compensation agreement is suitable."
"Oh? Which one is inappropriate?" Craig asked immediately.
Mu Shuang glanced at Shi Lei and said, "Mr. Shi, why don't you tell me?"
Shi Lei nodded, took the call, and said loudly: "Mr. Craig, we Dream Entertainment and wntel have had a good cooperation experience. In the last cooperation, we signed a compensation agreement with each other. If you violate the agreement, you need to pay the other party 100 million US dollars. Why is the liquidated damages reaching 10 billion US dollars in this compensation agreement?”
The amount of liquidated damages of 10 billion is entirely the result of the negotiation of the five think tank personnel of ntm company. In the first cooperation between ntel and Dream Entertainment, the sales volume of personal game servers reached 7.2 billion US dollars because they did not realize it at all. Therefore, in terms of liquidated damages, the amount signed is not large. [
In the first cooperation, untel company tasted the sweetness and knew what kind of profit income personal game server would bring. It is absolutely inappropriate to sign another $100 million in liquidated damages.
Therefore, Untel has increased the liquidated damages to the level of 10 billion US dollars. Even if Dream Entertainment Company recklessly defaults, wntml Company can obtain sufficient benefits.
"Mr. Shi, Ms. Mu, according to the forecast of our company's internal evaluation department, Dream Entertainment's second-generation personal game server will sell at least three million units worldwide. For our mutual cooperation, we need a high-level The amount of liquidated damages is used to bind both of us." Craig explained in a serious tone.
Shi Lei sneered, "Mr. Craig, I can't explain it, this is your wntel company suspecting our dream entertainment company, are you going to break the contract?"
"Of course we don't mean that!" Craig first corrected his attitude. In fact, wntel was really worried about Dream Entertainment's breaking the contract, but it was only superficial that he couldn't say it. "Mr. Shi, the high amount of liquidated damages only makes our cooperation more solid."
Mu Shuang let Shi Lei negotiate calmly, making it impossible to see what she meant.
"Mr. Craig, as regards Dream Entertainment Company, we only accept the same amount of the default amount as the last time. Otherwise, the cooperation between our two parties will continue to be discussed." Shi Lei said with a strong attitude.
Craig looked at Shi Lei with a wry smile on his face. In business negotiations, after substantive negotiations are usually entered into, the two parties will not mention the topic of terminating cooperation. There will only be problematic clauses. Choose non-stop negotiation. How could Shi Lei be like that, if he speaks directly, the negotiation breaks down?
Fortunately, after several negotiations, Craig also knew that Shi Lei was a negotiation rookie and did not understand the rules of negotiation at all. Craig can only look at Mu Shuang, hoping that Mu Shuang will show his attitude.
Mu Shuang coughed lightly, and Shi Lei stopped talking immediately.
"Mr. Craig, I am also quite supportive of what Mr. Shi said just now. We Dream Entertainment and MiRui Technology will not accept the ten billion dollar liquidated damages. Of course, we also quite understand your untel company. Therefore, the liquidated damages can be increased from 100 million US dollars in the first cooperation to 200 million US dollars, which is the bottom line of our dream entertainment company." Mu Shuang's tone was full of sincerity.
However, the meaning of the words is not sincere at all.
Compared with the tens of billions of dollars in cooperation agreements, it is really not sincere.
There was a worry in Craig's heart that Dream Entertainment refused to increase the liquidated damages, which showed that Dream Entertainment had the intention to tear up the agreement, or had a tendency to do so.
Once m company, bm company, or sun company, etc., companies that have made great achievements in the field of chips and commercial servers, give Dream Entertainment better conditions, then Dream Entertainment unilaterally breaks the contract. will become a reality.
"Ms. Mu, the liquidated damages of 200 million US dollars, we untm company can also accept it!" Craig's rare tough answer. He must strive for a reasonable interest plan for the company. Otherwise, he will become the sinner of the company!
Mu Shuang sighed lightly. "It seems that the negotiations between our two sides will continue to be deadlocked. Maybe m company will be a better choice. They don't even need the limit on liquidated damages, right?"
Mu Shuang deliberately brought up the m company to stimulate the vntel company. In the chip manufacturing industry, wntel company and m company are born rivals.
Although the two companies have some cooperation, and even wntm company controls some shares of m company behind the scenes, the two companies are mortal enemies!
Craig's face sank. He knew that what Mu Shuang said was the truth. In order to win over Dream Entertainment, Company M could accept even the limit of liquidated damages is very low. As long as m company cooperates with dream entertainment company, it can be accepted by m company even if it is only for a little time.
What the company needs most is to use Dream Entertainment to gain product recognition from users around the world!
"Wait! Ms. Mu, the liquidated damages are lowered a bit, five billion dollars!" Craig cut off half of the liquidated damages and made a big concession.
Unfortunately, this amount of liquidated damages is also not within the scope of Dream Entertainment's consideration.
After a brief but intense tug-of-war, Untel finally set the liquidated damages at $1 billion and wouldn't lower it anyway.
ntl's idea is simple, if Dream Entertainment unilaterally tore up the agreement, they would also make at least a billion dollars. Anyway, Dream Entertainment's personal game server doesn't need a separate product line, just their company's current products.
Mu Shuang also took out the ultimate limit of Dream Entertainment's price, "Mr. Craig, our Dream Entertainment can accept up to $500 million in liquidated damages."
In order to show that the USD 500 million liquidated damages amount is the real bottom line price of Dream Entertainment, Mu Shuang said in a serious tone: "If you accept it legally, today's negotiation ends here!"
Shi Lei had already stood up and looked ready to leave.
However, when Craig of Untel was still hesitating, Shi Lei's phone rang. He took out the phone and looked at it, and the caller number was displayed as Beijing City.
Shi Lei originally thought that Ling Yumo had changed his phone number, but he pressed the answer button and put the receiver to his ear.
"Boss, Miss Ling Yumo is missing!" On the phone, came the voice of Chen Zhiyong, a person sent by the security company to protect Ling Yumo in Beijing.
"What?" Shi Lei's face changed, and he asked loudly, "What's going on?"
